    In one word - Brilliant.

    Greetings from Lithuania.

    This was definitely the best season ending in many moons. And i mean i like watching TV shows, saw a lot of them, and "Person of Interest" is one of my favorites, actually, my favorite for now.

    And when it came to the last episode of the season, it was soooo intense and breathtaking that i couldn't take my eyes of screen. What an episode! I won't going to spoil anything, just going to say, that if you enjoyed this show so far, you will be in nirvana watching "Firewall".

    This is how to end the season! Two big thumbs up! A must see to everyone, and "Firewall" should be used as an example on other networks as a perfection of writing, acting, editing and directing of an episode.

    Great season finale

    Most of the episodes, you can guess quickly the twist, but the finale is brilliant and I didn't see it coming until 5 minutes it happened!

    Season Finale and Best Episode

    The Machine delivers the number of Caroline Turing, a young psychologist specialized in the therapy of powerful clients that require discretion. Soon they learn through Fusco that the HR is now working with murder-for-hire, and someone hired HR to eliminate her. Reese poses as client, but Caroline does not keep record of her interviews based on the need of discretion. While walking home, Reese saves Caroline from the HR hitmen and heads to a hotel. They are under siege of the killers, and Carter is summoned by Special Agent Nicholas Donnelly since he has tracked down Reese. Carter suspects that Fusco is providing information about Reese's whereabouts to HR. Meanwhile Finch contacts Zoe Morgan to help them to find who put a target on Caroline.

    "Firewall" is the First Season Finale of "Person of Interest" and the best episode so far. The final twist is totally unexpected, with the return of Root that shows how dangerous she is. The threats of Alicia Corwin and HR are gone, but now the greatest menace is Root. The conclusion is a great cliffhanger and looking forward to seeing the next episode. My vote is ten.

    Title (Brazil): "Firewall"

    • Trivia
      The name of character Caroline Turing may be a reference to the "Turing Test," an evaluation of a machine's ability to exhibit behavior indistinguishable from a human.
    • Goofs
      There is a grammar error near the end of the show when the smart phone close-up of the "ANONYMOUS Email" page is shown. For about 2 seconds we see this page with some bullet points. One of the bullet points says: Find out if your friend is are real friend.
    • Quotes

      Caroline Turing: I think I owe you an apology.

      John Reese: How do you figure?

      Caroline Turing: I diagnosed you as paranoid.

      John Reese: Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not trying to kill you.
